Amitabh
Bachchan
had
created
a
huge
controversy
by
writing
in
his
blog
that
the
award
winning
film
Slumdog
Millionaire
glorifies
poverty.
The
buzz
is
that
the
megastar
has
now
spoken
to
director
Danny
Boyle
to
explain
how
his
remarks
were
manipulated
by
the
media.
He
said
that
it
was
a
normal
remark
but
it
created
headlines
in
newspapers
and
websites
and
many
differed
in
their
viewpoints
as
to
whether
the
Golden
Globe
winning
movie
glorifies
the
slums
in
Mumbai's
underbelly
to
sell
it
to
western
audiences
or
not.
Big
B
said
his
remarks
were
misinterpreted
by
the
media.
Hence
he
spoke
to
director
Danny
Boyle
through
telephonic
conversation
arranged
by
actor
Anil
Kapoor
to
clarify
the
misunderstanding.
Interestingly,
the
movie
has
a
few
scenes
from
Big
B's
past
films
and
the
story's
protagonist
is
shown
as
an
Amitabh
fan.
He
was
also
invited
to
the
Mumbai
premiere
of
Slumdog
Millionaire
on
recently
but
had
to
give
it
a
miss
owing
to
prior
commitments.
Bachchan
said
he
explained
everything
to
Boyle.
He
said,
"I
also
extended
my
apologies
if
this
uncalled
for
misdemeanour
has
caused
him
and
his
film
any
anguish
and
grief."
Danny
was
reportedly
positive.
He
added,
"He
acknowledged
my
calling
him
and
said
I
need
not
have.
He
draws
my
attention
to
the
film
being
in
a
sense
a
tribute
to
my
presence
in
it
and
expresses
a
desire
to
meet
me
on
his
next
visit
to
the
country."
We
wonder
if
the
accolades,
the
Golden
Globe
awards
and
the
10
Oscar
nominations
made
Big
B
change
his
mind!
